Explosions in Egypt Mediterranean port blamed on drones in potential spread of war

Explosions hit a natural gas loading ‌port on the Mediterranean Sea ⁠in Egypt on Wednesday, and British maritime security company Ambrey said a US-owned floating storage tanker there had been hit by a ​drone, in a potential spread of ‌the Middle East war.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility ⁠for the incident in the Egyptian port of Damietta.

Earlier on Wednesday the United ​States ‌and Saudi Arabia struck Iran-backed ‌paramilitary groups in Iraq, and US President Donald Trump vowed to "beat the ‌f*****g s**t" ‌out of Iran for ⁠firing on US ‌troops days after he halted air strikes.
